CHRISTINA MCPHEE presents large-scale photoworks, video and high-
definition video from her acclaimed Carrizo-Parkfield Diaries, a
meditation on seismic memory and identity along the San Andreas Fault
in California, exploring the synchronicity between natural disaster
and human trauma.
This is the first time that the Diaries will be seen in their
entirety on the East Coast. Portions appear in the public collections
of Rose Goldsen Archive of New Media Art, Cornell University, Ithaca,
NY; Turbulence, New York; and Experimental Television Center, New
York. Videos from the Diaries project have shown internationally, in
InteractivA 07, biennial of new art, Mexico; the Cartes Centre for
Art and Technology, Espoo (Helsinki), Finland with support from the
American Scandinavian Foundation; Bildmuseet Umea Sweden; RX Gallery
San Francisco; Transport Gallery Los Angeles and elsewhere.
Christina McPhee's art explores the phenomenology of place in new
media, photography, drawing, sound and the net. "La Conchita mon
amour", on the mudslide-torn beach town of La Conchita, California,
premiered at Sara Tecchia Roma New York in October-November 2006.
2007 installations include "La Conchita N=Amour", a 22 screen
installation for the Thresholds Art Space, Horsecross, Perth,
Scotland, October-December 2007; and "La Conchita Paradise" video and
print installation for Break Festival 2.4, Ljubjana, Slovenia,
November 2007. Screenings of recent Carrizo Diaries films showed for
the centennial of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake in April 2006 at
Pacific Film Archive/Berkeley Art Museum; for "noise: in language,
culture, body and nature" at the Itau Cultural Centers in Bela
Horizonte and Belem, Brazil, April 2007; and in 2005 for
"Groundworks: Environmental Collaboration in Contemporary Art," at
Carnegie Mellon University Miller Gallery of Art. She recently
created theatrical video for Wunderkabinet, in collaboration with
Matt Brubeck and Pamela Z, a multimedia opera based on stories from
the Museum of Jurassic Technology (Los Angeles) at the REDCAT
Theatre, Walt Disney Concert Hall, October 2006. Festival screenings
include Futuresonic/FutureVisions, Manchester (2007); FILE, Sao
Paulo; Cybersonica New Media Centre at the ICA London; and prog:me,
Rio de Janeiro. Online interactive installations have shown recently
on Turbulence, Drunkenboat, the Whitney Museum of American Art/
Artport, and Mark(s)zine. Her prints and drawings are in American
collections including the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art.
Christina is a participating editor for the documenta 12 magazine
project, 2006-2007, in collaboration with the -empyre- online
listserv, Sydney. Her work is represented by Sara Tecchia Roma New York.
